I finally found the small wheel (it was not at the right place).

The games are : Lord of the robots and 3D sector X

Thank you

For me it seems to make no difference if I use that little wheel or not... all the 3d games I have work.

There was a manual?!

There was not much to explain, so I think I never included manuals. There is one though. Will eventually add it to the new website. There's a huge folder full of Vectrex files spread over my computers, so while I should have all information left, it will take some time to find it:-)

[...]The only problem I recall was the PCB pulling away from the visor frame. I believe I just reglued it & think I might have improved the strain relief on the cable as it entered the goggles.
[...]I did ping him recently, through his stale website, to inquire about how he made his color wheels, but he didn't write back.[...]

Yes everything right with what you wrote. I changed the glue and the cable positioning on the new revisions of the imager. And I just started answering mails again. Will slowly work through the pile of unanswered mails. Quite much of my life was on freeze for a few years.

Wow, moving entire COUNTRIES is pretty tough!

Hopefully he'll get things in order and become a force in the Vectrex community again at some point in the near future.

Thinking of micronations;-)
I just have to get enough money every month to pay my very few bills (there's no budget like low budget:-)) and gladly spend the rest of the time to develop whatever is demanded for the vectrex. I like the vectrex:-)

With details of the accident given at this link !

Yeah that was actually not fun at all. Got some permanent muscle and nerve damage from it and finally needed some non-humanoid replacement parts:-) But I was lucky, the driver of another car died instantly.
Well thats also why my philosophy now is to spend my time with projects like the Vectrex as soon as my monthly bills are paid.

^Wow, crazy situation. Looks like you were lucky to make it out of there indeed.
